We are His People, So Let's Pray!

I hope many of you will join with me in this targeted week of prayer. I believe 15 to 20 other pastors in the Clovis area are asking their churches to sacrifice and pray this week too. Please understand this concentrated & orchestrated week of prayer is not to BOMBARD heaven with our pleas to force God to ACT for what we’ve asked, as if He doesn’t know what we need, but rather it’s to make ourselves, as His church, available for Him to ACT through us as He meets our needs. God desires to shine His light into our culture and we are the lamp He wants to shine through! So let Him SHINE!Week of Prayer, May 19 - 24: Here’s what I’m ASKING: 1. Would you be willing to sacrifice 1 meal a day for the next 7 days & pray?

2. Pray each day for a specific & different need:Monday - Pray for Fresno County, our political leaders, business and citizens;Tuesday - Pray for State of California, Governor Newsmen - wisdom to lead, but most of all his personal relationship with Jesus;Wednesday - Pray for our Nation and President & both parties;Thursday - Pray for Pastors & Churches, wisdom & peace as they prepare to re-boot servicesFriday - Pray against the evil one & his tactics of fear, apathy & divisionSaturday - Pray for yourself, that you may walk & grow in spiritual maturity. Pray that you may live victoriously each day, despite the circumstances.Sunday - Give thanks with a grateful heart for all Christ has done, is doing and will do!2 Chronicles 7:14 says,14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
